12.5′ x 25′ overhang off the end of the wellhouse for the grill and picnic table, etc.
In progress…

I can go for months without blogging a thing and then WHAMMO!  I’ll go through a little spurt of overbloggage.
There’s been quite a bit of progress on the property but most of it doesn’t make for good pics.  Including today’s wellhouse work.  Steve and Cody got a lot done this week and, after finding a [...]

A couple of weeks late but:
Poured a slab for the new chicken coop.

Footer for the last half of the house poured.

Grandma Kaye came for a visit and got to meet Josie.  She’s probably still cleaning the mud off of her shoes.

Nellie, the sheepshire-eating queen.

Birds of a feather, nap together?

Does he kiss his mother with that [...]

The new greenhouse is up and running! Still needs a few finishing touches, as well as the shelves. I’ll get pics later after it’s completely done but, for now, it’s doing great. It’s 20′ wide (E to W) and 13′ deep (S to N), south-facing, attached to the house. On the east and west sides [...]

It’s been a month since I last slapped something up here? Dang. Well, here ya go.
Spring has sprung… mostly. Steve built a retainer garden kind of doohickey, right in front of the wellhouse. (Remind me to tell you guys about the new plans for both the wellhouse and the regular [...]

And the two remaining hogs tilling up half of the big garden.  I smell bacon!

Steve got the woodstove in a few weeks ago and we’ve been warm ever since.

The oversized, bought-on-after-Christmas-clearance-last-year stockings hung with care…

Zombie dog and assorted kids in front of the Christmas “corner”.  Makes ya all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn’t it?

And progress in the bathroom, starting to the right inside the door.  Painted Martha Stewart Pee [...]

I’ve been a random picture-taking fool lately.  No rhyme.  No reason.  Okay, maybe a little rhyme.  But definitely no reason.
Duke and Nellie dancing in the speech therapist’s office.

Same place, GQ look.

More random cuteness.

A “wild” watermelon that started growing where the kitchen sink water drains out.  The plant died back so we picked the melon.  Not [...]

The bathroom is still under construction so will update on that later.  In the meantime…
The urinal here is only partially installed.  (Yes, it’s dirty but not THAT kind of dirty because it’s as yet unused.)  Since we’re not running water through the top spud for flushing (we’ll hand-flush in order to save water — by [...]
